CVE-2024-12986 is a critical remote OS command injection vulnerability affecting DrayTek Vigor2960 and Vigor300B devices running firmware versions 1.5.1.3 and 1.5.1.4. The flaw is present in the Web Management Interface, specifically in processing associated with the /cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi/apmcfgupptim endpoint. According to the available information, manipulation of the session argument can trigger command injection in unknown backend processing, allowing attacker-controlled input to be interpreted by the underlying operating system command context. The issue is remotely exploitable, and public exploit disclosure has been reported.

This repository provides both a scanner and an exploit for CVE-2024-12986, a command injection vulnerability in the 'apmcfgupptim' endpoint of DrayTek Gateway Devices. The repository contains three files: a README with detailed usage instructions, a Bash script (scan.sh) for scanning multiple targets for the vulnerability, and a Python script (exploit.py) that provides an interactive shell to exploit the vulnerability. The exploit works by sending a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint, injecting arbitrary commands via the 'session' parameter. The scanner script automates detection across a list of URLs, while the exploit script allows for interactive command execution on a compromised device. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting accessible DrayTek devices. The endpoint '/cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi/apmcfgupptim' is fingerprintable and central to both the scanning and exploitation process. The exploit is operational, providing a working payload and interactive shell, but is not part of a larger exploitation framework.
